Greetings Colleagues, Dawn Kight, Ph.D., Dean of Libraries, Southern University and A&M College, forwards the following announcement: Good afternoon, The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is extending a rare opportunity for communities across the nation to provide the federal government with helpful feedback and guidance in implementing $2.75 billion of funding through the Digital Equity Act. Southern University Law Center will be hosting an exciting working session on Wednesday, April 26, from 1-3 pm central standard time to provide comments. Each attendee will be able to address any of NTIA's 24 requested questions during this meeting through an online survey. Each written response will later be submitted to NTIA. This event is an open invitation to Historically Black Colleges & Universities, libraries, individuals, churches, and community organizations. Our hope is to provide crucial insight and perspective regarding the digital needs of the respective communities. NTIA may utilize this feedback to further enhance the design and implementation of The Digital Equity Grant Program. Join us. We encourage you along with your community members to participate in this exciting and important event.
